< Izaiáš 7 >

1 I stalo se za dnů Achasa syna Jotamova, syna Uziáše, krále Judského, že přitáhl Rezin král Syrský, a Pekach syn Romeliáše, krále Izraelského, k Jeruzalému, aby bojoval proti němu, ale nemohl ho dobyti.
Ahaz was the son of Jotham and grandson of Uzziah. During the time that Ahaz was the king of Judah, King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel marched [with their armies] to attack Jerusalem. But they could not conquer it.
2 I oznámeno jest domu Davidovu v tato slova: Spikla se země Syrská s Efraimem. Pročež pohnulo se srdce jeho, i srdce lidu jeho, tak jako se pohybuje dříví v lese od větru.
[But before they attacked], everyone in the palace heard a report that the armies of Syria and Israel were [now] (allies/joined [to attack Jerusalem)]. So Ahaz and the people over whom he ruled were extremely afraid; they were shaking from fear like trees shake in a windstorm.
3 Tedy řekl Hospodin Izaiášovi: Vyjdi nyní vstříc Achasovi, ty a Sear Jašub syn tvůj, až na konec struhy rybníka hořejšího, k silnici pole valchářova,
Then Yahweh said to me, “Take your son Shear-Jashub, and go to talk with [King] Ahaz. He is at the end of the (aqueduct/water channel) that brings water into the upper reservoir, near the road to the place where women wash clothes.
4 A díš jemu: Šetř se, abys se nekormoutil. Neboj se, a srdce tvé nechať se neděsí dvou ostatků hlavní těch kouřících se, před rozpáleným hněvem Rezinovým s Syrskými, a syna Romeliášova,
Tell Ahaz to stop worrying [DOU]. Tell him that he does not need to be afraid of those two kings, Rezin and Pekah. They are very angry [with Judah], but they are [unable to harm his country any more than] completely burned-out coals [can harm him].
5 Proto že zlou radu složili proti tobě Syrský, Efraim a syn Romeliášův, řkouce:
Yes, they are planning to attack this land and saying,
6 Táhněme proti zemi Judské, a vyležme ji, a odtrhněme ji k sobě, a ustavme krále u prostřed ní syna Tabealova.
‘We will attack Judah and conquer it. Then we will appoint Tabeel’s son to be the king of Judah.’
7 Toto praví Panovník Hospodin: Nestaneť se a nebude toho.
But this is what Yahweh, the Lord, says: ‘It will not happen; they will not [conquer Jerusalem]!
8 Nebo hlava Syrské země jest Damašek, a hlava Damašku Rezin, a po šedesáti pěti letech potřín bude Efraim, tak že nebude lidem.
The capital of Syria is Damascus, but Damascus is ruled [only] by its [unimportant/insignificant] king king Rezin. And as for Israel, within 65 years it will be conquered and completely destroyed.
9 Mezi tím hlava Efraimova Samaří, a hlava Samaří syn Romeliášův. Jestliže nevěříte, jistě že neostojíte.
Israel’s capital is Samaria, and Samaria is ruled only by its [insignificant/unimportant] king king Pekah. [So you do not need to be afraid of those two countries]! [But you must trust me, because] if you do not trust me fully, you will be defeated.’”
10 I mluvil ještě Hospodin k Achasovi, řka:
[Later], Yahweh gave [me another message to tell to] King Ahaz.
11 Požádej sobě znamení od Hospodina Boha svého, buď dole hluboko, aneb na hoře vysoko. (Sheol h7585)
[He said to tell him], “Request me, Yahweh your God, to do something that will enable you to be sure [that I will help/protect you]. What you request can be [from a place that is] as high as the sky or as low as the place where the dead people are.” (Sheol h7585)
12 I řekl Achas: Nebudu prositi, aniž budu pokoušeti Hospodina.
But [when I told that to the king, he refused]. He said, “[No], I will not request Yahweh to do something to prove [that he will help/protect us]!”
13 Tedy řekl prorok: Slyšte nyní, dome Davidův, ještě-liž jest vám málo, lidem býti k obtížení, že i Bohu mému k obtížení jste?
Then I said [to him], “You people who are descendants of King David, listen! You are causing me to be tired of being patient. Are you also going to cause my God to stop being patient with you [RHQ]?
14 Protož sám Pán dá vám znamení: Aj, panna počne, a porodí syna, a nazůve jméno jeho Immanuel.
Yahweh himself will do something for you [to prove that he will help/protect you]. Listen to this: A young woman will become pregnant and give birth to a son. She will name him Immanuel, [which means ‘God is with us’].
15 Máslo a med jísti bude, až by uměl zavrci zlé, a vyvoliti dobré.
And by the time that child is old enough to eat curds/yogurt and honey, he will be able to reject what is evil and choose what is good.
16 Nýbrž prvé než bude uměti dítě to zavrci zlé a vyvoliti dobré, opuštěna bude země, kteréž nenávidíš pro dva krále její.
And before that child is old enough to do that, the lands of the two kings that you(sg) are very (afraid of/worried about) will be deserted.
17 Na tebe pak přivede Hospodin, a na lid tvůj, i na dům otce tvého dny, jakýchž nebylo ode dne, v němž odstoupil Efraim od Judy, a to skrze krále Assyrského.
[But then] Yahweh will cause you and your family and your entire nation to experience [terrible disasters]. Those disasters will be worse than any disasters that have occurred since the country of Israel separated from Judah. Yahweh will cause [the army of] the king of Assyria to attack you!”
18 Nebo stane se v ten den, že pošepce Hospodin muchám, kteréž jsou při nejdalších řekách Egyptských, a včelám, kteréž jsou v zemi Assyrské.
At that time, [it will be as though] Yahweh will whistle to summon the army from the south of Egypt as well as the army of Assyria. They will [come and surround your country like] [MET] flies and bees.
19 I přijdou, a usadí se všickni ti v údolích pustých a v děrách skalních, i na všech chrastinách i na všech stromích užitečných.
They will all come and settle/live [everywhere]—in the narrow valleys and caves in the rock cliffs, on land where there are thornbushes as well as on the fertile land.
20 V ten den oholí Pán tou břitvou najatou, (skrze ty, kteříž za řekou jsou, skrze krále Assyrského), hlavu a vlasy noh, ano také i bradu do čista sholí.
At that time Yahweh will hire the king of Assyria to come [with his army] from east of the [Euphrates] River. [They will get rid of everything in your land—the crops and the people. They will destroy everything thoroughly]; it will be like [MET] a barber shaving not only a man’s hair but his beard and the hair on his legs.
21 I bude tehdáž, že sotva člověk zachová kravičku neb dvě ovce,
When that happens, a farmer will be able to have only one cow and two goats/sheep.
22 Avšak pro množství mléka, kteréhož nadojí, jísti bude máslo. Máslo zajisté a med jísti bude, kdožkoli v zemi bude zanechán.
[However], those animals will give plenty of milk, with the result that the farmer will have curds/yogurt to eat. And [because there will not be many people left] in the land, all the people who remain there will have plenty of milk and honey.
23 Bude také v ten čas, že každé místo, na němž jest tisíc kmenů vinných za tisíc stříbrných, trním a hložím poroste.
Now there are many areas where there are vineyards that are worth 1,000 pieces of silver, but at that time there will be only briers and thorns [DOU] in those fields.
24 S střelami a lučištěm tudy jíti musí; hložím zajisté a trním zaroste všecka země.
There will be only briers and thorns in the entire land, [and wild animals], with the result that men will take their bows and arrows and go there [to hunt and kill animals].
25 Všecky pak hory, kteréž motykou kopány býti mohou, nebudou se báti hloží a trní; nebo budou za pastviště volům, a bravům ku pošlapání.
No one will go to where there previously were gardens on fertile hillsides, because briers and thorns will cover those hillsides. They will be areas where [only a few] cattle and sheep and goats wander around [searching for something to eat].
